Answer:
Thus, the expected value of points for Derek and Mia are [tex]\dfrac{-1}{9}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex] respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of green marbles = 2 and Number of Yellow marbles = 1
Then, total number of marbles = 2+1 = 3
A person selects two marbles one after another after replacing them.
So, the probabilities of selecting different combinations of colors are,
[tex]1.\ P(GG)=P(G)\times P(G)\\\\P(GG)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\P(GG)=\dfrac{4}{9}[/tex]
[tex]2.\ P(GY)=P(G)\times P(Y)\\\\P(GY)=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\P(GY)=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]
[tex]3.\ P(YG)=P(Y)\times P(G)\\\\P(YG)=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\P(YG)=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]
[tex]4.\ P(YY)=P(Y)\times P(Y)\\\\P(YY)=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\P(YY)=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]
Now, we have that,
If two marbles are of same color, then Mia gains 1 point and Derek loses 1 point.
If two marbles are of different color, then Derek gains 1 point and Mia loses 1 point.
Then, the expected value of points for Derek is,
[tex]E(D)= (-1)\times \dfrac{4}{9}+1\times \dfrac{2}{9}+1\times \dfrac{2}{9}+(-1)\times \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\E(D)= \dfrac{-5}{9}+\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\E(D)=\dfrac{-1}{9}[/tex]
And the expected value of points for Mia is,
[tex]E(M)= 1\times \dfrac{4}{9}+(-1)\times \dfrac{2}{9}+(-1)\times \dfrac{2}{9}+1\times \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\E(M)= \dfrac{5}{9}-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\E(M)=\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex].
Thus, the expected value of points for Derek and Mia are [tex]\dfrac{-1}{9}[/tex] and [tex]\dfrac{1}{9}[/tex] respectively.
Answer: P(GG)= 4/9
P(GY)= 2/9
P(YG)= 2/9
P(YY)= 1/9
Derek, E(X) = -1/9
Mia, E(X) = 1/9
